Luis Ortiz has just lost two fights in his illustrious career and both his losses have come against the “Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder. Having, last fought back in November, 2019 (loss against Deontay Wilder), the Cuban looked to get back on winning track when he faced American, Alexander Flores at Microsoft Theater. And, boy did he do it in style! Ortiz made lightning-quick work of Alexander Flores, knocking him out in the very first round, hardly 45 seconds after the bell.

Right from the beginning of the fight, The Cuban was very aggressive, starting off with a double jab and missing a hard right hook. Pushing Flores against the ropes, Ortiz then landed a big right hook, flooring Flores. Although, Flores got back to his feet, seeing that he was injured, the referee waved off the fight.

“I want Andy Ruiz. He needs a fight” – Luis Ortiz at the post-fight interview

At the post-fight interview, Ortiz said (Translated by his trainer), “I definitely wanted to get some more work in and I wanted to see what the Mexican heavyweight (Flores) was all about in preparation for the Ruiz fight, which is the fight I really want now. I can’t help what I can’t help. I’m happy I won, and I did prepare to go rounds. This guy (Flores) went three rounds with Joseph Parker and fought back, he went four rounds with Charles Martin and fought back. There’s no excuse. Those other guys needed rounds to stop him. I want Andy Ruiz. He needs a fight, and it makes sense. I prepared for a championship-level fight, and the new conditioning paid off, because I felt more athletic and more explosive.”

Although, Andy is yet to respond. The match will definitely be a lip-smacking one, as Andy holds the privilege of being the only one to ever stop Anthony Joshua. Fingers Crossed!
